this is the same bloke who it seems sets up his blog claiming to have built it on the principles of free speech … and then goes on to abuse posters for expressing their opinions.

when accused, his reader totoro explained to him and politely asked him for reasons as to why the blogger accused him of “farting on his blog” repeatedly, his reaction was to continue to abuse him verbally through repeated use of the same crude language.

clearly this blogger needs to be given a lesson in the polite use of language to make a point. spare us readers this obnoxious behaviour.

clearly the blogger does not tolerate criticism of his own position over public issues – in this case perceived criticism (of his views). we are not questioning the use of his personal discretion in deciding what to allow on his blog. but applying double standards and harassing his own reader through the use of foul language??

Improvisation on both sides is a natural outcome - one to track and the other to duck. Well, the guidebook for “cyberdissidents” and it’s anonymity tips, will be seen by national regimes as well.

It’s a beautifully produced print and online resource, useful for anyone who’s less interested in blogging to make money or get a book deal and more interested in doing original, independent online journalism in countries where press freedoms are restricted. Julien has allowed us to put a preview copy on Global Voices - you’re welcome to download and peruse it - it will be offically launched on RSF’s site tomorrow morning. My colleage, Rebecca Mackinnon, has an excellent review of the book featured on Global Voices today.

The guide book should also include a crisis action plan, where a blogger can alert others worldwide in cases of contigency. The guide book should also lay out ITU's stand on routers and servers strewn all across the world.

This is their biggest failing and impediment. This is why the abovementioned handbook for such categories of bloggers will be of most help.
